The interface between input processes and input types, and between metadata structures and data types, is more extensible, allowing developers to add their own input types and data types as needed.

Application-level integrity constraints have been implemented, so that metadata structure fields, controlled vocabularies, and controlled vocabulary terms cannot be renamed or edited after being deploywed. Completeness constraints have also been implemented, so that every record saved by the system is guaranteed to have all required metadata structure fields.

The system does auto-detects the size and format of URLs and uploaded files.

Extended help texts are now displayed in pop-up windows.

The following improvements are planned, and will become available via plug-ins:

Importing and exporting records via metadata harvesting

A configurable browse and search interface for external users may be made available

The following features have been dropped, and are not planned for future releases:

Support for comma-delimited text area inputs are not supported

It is not possible to edit the input process display properties of fields with multiple attributes (e.g., Author, Classification).

The system does not provide any validation beyond testing if input for a required field is provided during cataloging.
